It's been hard, but easier than I remember. Which in itself is a little bit of a paradox. Hmm...
Anyway, I've been writing a blog and updating it with how I feel every day. Last night I made a list of all the withdrawal symptoms I've had and then a list of all the benefits from stopping. It was close (for now) but the benefits did outweigh the nasty withdrawal! Not bad for the first week.
Yep, it's hard, but I'll get there.
How's all my other same day quitters doing?

Hey there Nik and congratulations getting in to your second week!! The benefits of stopping will always outweigh the pleasures of smoking, it's just translating that into our own quit!
I am so appreciative of you coming along and showing us newbies that the grass is actually greener on the other side! I just hope I (and all the other new year day quitters) can do the same down the line when our quits are a little more established! Thanks so much!
Fluff, Sherri, Antitrust, Billy and Rustler, you guys are amazing. How you can support me and each other in your times of hardship and pain is just beyond belief. Stay strong. Thank you too so much!
Well done all you second weekers. Stick at it because it is worth all the effort, pain and wobbles to be free instead of enslaved to this horrible habit.
If you start to flag just have a walk around a shop and get a whiff of the vile smell I used to think I never had on me. Ewwww that's enough to keep you focused. I could have been sick wandering round Tesco yesterday as different folks wandered into my stale cig detection zone.
